Rep. Ami Bera is defending his vote to censure Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for his protest at President Donald Trump 's speech.

Bera told NewsNation on Sunday that Green 's protest was a "distraction" from the Democratic Party's overall strategy.

The House of Representatives adopted a censure resolution by Rep. Dan Newhouse to formally reprimand Green .

Chris Hayes said last week that he applauded Al Green for trying “something” and that “now is the time for trying things” There’s “tension within the Democratic Party about what's the optimal strategic response” to oppose Trump, Hopkins said.

Hopkins said some Democrats might have felt frustrated that his protest was not done with approval from his peers.
